Select Power Box Location
Consider the following in order to select the Power Box
location:
The Power Box will be connected to the Base Station
•
using the 15m (50ft.) Extension Cable.
Select a suitable location for the Power Box to be
•
mounted on a wall near a power outlet.
Locate it outside the lawn perimeter.
•
Select an easily accessed spot.
•
Select a dry and sheltered location.
•
The Power Box is to be mounted vertically.
•
The Power Box is suitable for Outdoor use. Yet, it should be placed in a sheltered, dry and well ventilated spot.
The Power Box should not be exposed to direct sunlight or rain.

Planning the Perimeter Wire Layout
3.4.1.
Objects inside lawn
Objects such as flower beds, ponds, or small trees can
•
be protected by creating "Perimeter Islands", which
are demarcated areas of the lawn, where the unit does
not enter.
In the areas where obstacles are grouped closely
•
together, they should be demarcated by a single,
continuous Perimeter Island.
Obstacles that are vertical, relatively rigid, and higher
•
than 15 cm (6 inches), such as trees, phone or power
poles, do not need Perimeter Island. The unit will turn
when it collides with these obstacles.
Slopes
3.4.2.
Slope on the perimeter
The Perimeter Wire can be laid across a slope that
•
slants less than 10% (10 cm rises per 1m).
CAUTION! If the Perimeter Wire is laid across a slope
steeper than 10%, there is a risk that the mower will
slip and cross outside the wire, especially when the
grass is wet'.
However, if there is a barrier (e.g. fence or wall) that
can protect the mower from slipping off, the Perimeter
Wire can be set on that slope.
